'Marlon' Snow Rose
Hellebore Gold Collection®
- Snow Rose Marlon bears cream and pink ombre blooms from November right through to early spring, which turn an elegant green-tinged aubergine colour as they age
- Snow roses combine the frost and snow hardiness of the Christmas rose (Helleborus niger) with Mediterranean hellebore heritage, which allows them to reach their full potential even in fully sunny areas. They're also early flowering and fast growing
- Ideal for balconies and terraces in pots, as part of a woodland border or for underplanting deciduous trees and shrubs
- Plant in well drained soil in full sun or partial shade
- A long lived perennial which is fully hardy and easy to care for
- The Helleborus Gold Collection® brings together the best performing varieties of Christmas, Snow and Lenten roses. In the right location, they will thrive for decades with their fascinating winter flowers and evergreen foliage
